April 2~6_th. lqMS. 2. Petition of Mfs.Elizabeth Corwine to be relieved of certain personal taxes. It appears that the taxes assessed against this party were o~pied from previous years. I am informed that Mrs. Corwine broke up house-keeping and resided with her brother- in-law. The Deputy 0ommissioner of the Revenue agrees with me that she should be relieved of the following taxes: 1935-$2.65, 1935- $2.65, 1936 $2.65, and 1931- $2.65. 3. Petition of Miss Essie Lee Bittle, to be relieve~ of certain property taxes. According to the letter of M{ss Bittle, she is properly assessed for the years 1933 and 1937. The previous years were assessed against her father. She has the privilege of paying her taxes without paying those assessed against her father. ' $. Petition_of j.- T. Garner .concerning personal prope~y taxes. Prom the best information whi:h I have been able to obtain Mr. Garner disposed of his farniture in 1931, and he should be relieved of personal property taxes for the years I9301932 andt° 1937,1931 andam°untingMr. Garnert° $15.52,has paidwiththeintereStsame., and penalties . He was prooerly~ assessed for I~otio~ of Mr. Pox to concur in the Attorney, s recommendation, was adopted. 3rd - HIn connection with the request of Mrs. Georgeana A. Webb for the re - lief of taxes, referred to me at your last meeting, I find that Mrs. Webb is the owner of one lot at the southwes~ corner of Washington s-nd Columbia Sts. The assessor have assessed her with two lots 'm~t~ ~e ~ ~+ ...... s of 1920 appear to lot of ~he same frontage then ~ll2~T2 Zi ~"~£ ~. ~a valua~zon of $1600.00. The adjoining corner was assessed to° ' ~oo~===~ ~ e. ri.naa&, was assessed at $1150.00. The southeast Mrs. Indie E. Halstead, at $1350.00. The lot adjoining the Halstead proper~y was assessed to Isaac Pass at $1150.00o I~ therefore appears that the laud in both blocks was intended to have been assessed the same. It appears to me that Mrs. Webb should have been assessed for $1350.00 instead of $1600o00 for the years 1921, 1922, 1923, 1925 and 1925, with an error of $250.00 in her assessment. The assessors of 1925 assess.ed the Webb land at $1500,00, the Hall land at $10eO.O0 and the Malstead land at $1000.00, the Priedman (or Pass) land at $1150., and the Troy land at $1100. It appears to me td~at Mrs. Webb should have had a land assessment of $1250.00 and that there was an error of $250.00. The assessors of 1930 and 1935 as~s.essed the Webb land at $1790.00, the-Hall land at $810.00; the Hatstead land at $1250.00; tne Priendman (or Pass) land at $1050.00, and M. A. Troy in the block with Halstead and Friendman at $1050.00, showing a high~ er assessment in the later block. Using the same differential for the corner, Mrs. Webb should have bean assessed for $1000.00. The~e was therefore an error of $790.00 in her assessment for ~he yea~s 1931 tc 1938, inclusive. Mrs. Georgeanna A. ~Vebb, u~der the policy which has heretofore been adopted by the City Council is entitled to be refunded the following taxes erroneously charged against her.
